YMMV

I just received another rod that may well become a favorite - it feels great! I had problems with a 7' Bonehead and the owner of Bonehead, Josh Spain, bent over backwards to satisfy me. Superb customer service! He replaced my 7' Bonehead with one of the new 8' 2-piece models. It feels great and I can't wait to try it out. My daughter is closing on a house tomorrow and we are moving her all weekend or I would be on the water bright and early in the morning. Take a look at Bonehead rods.
